Priest Stabbed at Steakhouse | Texas News

A priest from San Jose Catholic Church in Austin was brutally stabbed multiple times during a dinner outing with parishioners — an attack by a former churchgoer who allegedly harbored a grudge. The assailant, Edward Koubek, reportedly hugged the priest before pulling out a knife, leaving him with serious wounds to the back and shoulder. Witnesses say the attack was sudden and unprovoked, while Koubek claims the priest mocked him during confession months prior. The priest is hospitalized but expected to recover fully, and Koubek is now in custody on a $15,000 bond.
